I suspect that has more to do with the author being dead, rights and publisher interest.

Those westerns I was talking about are long out of print and rights are owned by the author. They run for about two bucks or so, but there's plenty of e-books that go for more. Arthur C. Clarke and Thomas Tryon for instance both have e-books that run about the same price as a paperback. So I doubt low e-book prices are keeping Frank Yerby off the digital shelves.
